Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
subdMapSewMove is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command can be used to Move and Sew together separate UV
pieces along geometric edges. UV pieces that correspond to the same
geometric edge, are merged together by moving the smaller piece to
the larger one.
The argument is a UV selection list.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
limitPieceSize(lps) |
boolean |
   |
|
When on, this flag tells that the face number limit described
above should be used. |
|
numberFaces(nf) |
int |
|
|
Maximum number of faces in a UV piece. When trying to combine
two UV pieces into a single one, the merge operation is rejected if
the smaller piece has more faces than the number specified by this
flag.
This flag is only used when limitPieceSize is set to
on. |
|
| Common flags |
name(n) |
string |
|
|
Name the resulting object. |
|
constructionHistory(ch) |
boolean |
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off (where
applicable).
Q: When queried, this flag returns an int. |
